Re: Sasha on Digweed - new Mixmag interview

Bedrock as a brand is without a doubt the single biggest success story in the English house music scene bar none

what? just think about MoS as a brand which is a global thing...

Ministry of Sound is the primest example of capitalist, money-orientated, sell-out corporate bullshit you will ever fuckin' see in your life. What started out as a handy little footnote in British clubbing history - which pioneered the US/UK DJ crossover - has evolved into the dance music equivalent of K-Tel, pushing out nicely-timed Christmas compilations of tracks we've heard a billion times before to enable that cunt Palumbo to buy his way into the Lords. That they have the audacity to still call themselves 'the best club in the world' is an affront to all the real heads out there who know how to put on proper nights in proper clubs full of people who don't swan around like their shit doesn't stink.

I briefly did a bit of work for them back in the 90's and I've been to many a night there, and the level of snobbery you encounter in and around that organisation is bordering on suffocating (almost as bad as Malibu Stacey and Serious at The Cross back in the day, but I digress). They are the anti-cool, the diametric opposite of anything meaningful or cutting edge in modern electronic music, and they can throw out as many deep house albums as they like to try and throw us off the scent - they aint fooling me. They've employed known criminals and murder suspects on their doors and the venue is located in one of shittiest holes in London - hardly the gleaming beacon of piety they'd have you believe from their shiny PR initiatives.

They're a brand all right, a particular brand of cuntishness which epitomises everything that has gone wrong with the clubbing scene in this country over the past 20 years.

you're not wrong here - it wasnt called the misery of pounds for nothing....

When did you last see them?

Saw them twice at the Mayan Theatre in LA - the played there twice within a few months part of the DH tour - first time was priceless - the first time was kinda short notice & the peeps in attendance were more core & less glam - & they also played on a Wednesday or Thursday night - that was May I think. They came back again in September & that show was good as well, but over advertised & the place was beyond packed. That was the last time I saw them together.

These aren't the droids we're looking for, you can go about your business now, move along, move along...

Starcreeper, I was at that San Fran 1999 gig but if memory serves me correctly they were supposed to play at 1015 Folsom but it got changed at the last minute to another club down the street. Was a great night, was basically a mixture musically of John's Hong Kong CD and Sasha's Ibiza one, both released that year. Jimmy Van M was on warm up duties that particular evening.

And now you're lacing your gushing spew with tautologies!?!

No, that statement doesn't qualify as such. It's grammatically and rhetorically correct, in addition to only being an opinion. Perhaps if you spent more time brushing up on how to use your micro-brain and less chasing me around this board like a bitching trollette, you wouldn't produce these elementary errors on a consistent basis. And I don't need luck matey, I just need me.

I'm easy either way. My dick won't shrink or my life degenerate into a swirling maelstrom of chaos because I miss out on this article - I simply pointed out the folly of not providing a link to qualify the thread. Plenty of other people do it, so why not here?

Seems like somebody didn't enjoy their Cheerios as much as usual this morning. Carry on.
